Android :: Display Locally Stored Html Webpage Using Webview

Jan 14, 2010

I have a locally stored webpage (html) under res/raw folder.There is an image that is referenced in this html page (test.gif) which is stored under res/drawables.When I use a webview to display this page, it does not display the image. How can I correctly reference the path to the test.gif image?I tried using a text view with Html.fromHtml() but that does not parse several html tags.

I am developing a small application in Android. I come across a problem, and not sure whether it is possible in Android platform. I have some local html files. There is an Activity contains a webview, which is used to display these local html files. In some cases, I want to display a picture selected from phone into one of these local html files. Is it possible? Has anyone resolved such problem? I appreciate any of your replies.

I'm receiving XML which contains elements of HTML and I want to display these to the users. Therefore, I have to set the content programmatically, rather than extract the strings from an android xml resource. I'm using a WebView to display the content, rather than TextView, as it handles some of the HTML markup - bold text for example, and links. However WebView does appear to be rather limited.

We have a large HTML which contents 1000's of lines. But we want to show content of the HTML file that fits a single screen. We want provide a '>' kind of to show the next contents of the same HTML file. Our objective is to only display the HTML contents that fits the screen.Similar to reader application For user, it seems there are several pages. Is there any way in which we can achieve this functionality. Whether WebView has any function related to full fill the requirement.

I have an Android app that saves a text file directly onto the phone, in the app's install directory. I need to allow the user to create a new email, attaching this saved text file. When I start the intent to send the email, everything shows up in Gmail correctly, but the attachment does not get sent. All of my searches on stack overflow seem to only deal with attaching an image file from the SD card. Below is the code that I used. Please let me know if I have done something incorrectly.

I just received my Nexus 5 in the mail and I'm trying to figure out how transfer all my pictures from my s4 to my n5 so that they are still able to be set as wallpaper and what not cause to my knowledge once they care stored to Google drive they cannot be set as wallpapers anymore ..is that correct ? Just looking for the easiest way to move my pictures over .

I am trying to parse HTML in android from a webpage, and since the webpage it not well formed, I get SAXException.Is there a way to parse HTML in android?(my guess is not, so the follow up question is: what is the best way to do this?

I've noticed that despite having only four or five playlists on Google Music (desktop) my phone shows a bunch - mostly ones from albums I've downloaded. They don't show up in the browser version on my desktop so it looks like the only way to get rid of them is to manually delete every single one via the phone app.

Also, I've noticed that when I switch the settings to "on device only" my playlists created on the web page no longer show up, despite me having the majority of the songs on my microSD. I remember I used to be able to switch to "on device only" and the cloud playlist would scale down to only what I had on local storage. Was so....logical! Is there any way I can still do this? My microSD music is pretty much pointless since I don't have access to the playlists when I'm using "on device only".

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I did search the group before writing.

I am trying to launch an Android app via a hyperlink from an HTML site - i.e. tel:+448458001020 would call play.com from my phone upon clicking the button that has aforementioned hyperlink. Or putting a hyperlink on a button geo:0,0?z=17 opens up google maps on my phone with my location at a zoom of 17, mailto:n...@email.com would email and obviously http:// would take the user to another webpage.

Is it possible to launch an Android app already installed on the phone this way?

I've come across a peculiar problem in one of my apps recently. I have a WebView that pulls down a webpage using loadUri(). This is being loaded into an activity that has just the WebView and a Button below the WebView inside a RelativeLayout. It works fine in the emulator on Android 1.6, 2.1, and 2.2. However, it does not show the webpage in Android 1.5. To strip things down to a bare minimum,

I used the following code from the API docs and tested it with similar results:

CODE:...........

Any thoughts as to what might be v1.5 specific that would cause this to not work? Am I missing something here?

I would like to preemptively get the HTML code of a webpage that is to be loaded in a webView, parse it using regex, and display only the HTML code that I want, while letting the webpage still think it has loaded everything. Is there any way to do that in the WebViewClient.onLoadResource() or similar methods?

I've been building my app using the standard xml and Java Android layout libraries. I don't like the set up very much; and I would prefer to build the ui in html. I've been testing the speed of the WebView; and it seems that it is quite fast at rendering. Does anyone know if Google has ever said anything on the subject of building the ui in html and rendering it in a WebView? I know it's perfectly legal to render the UI in the WebView; but am I going to run into some problem in the future?

I have a WebView on my Android application which loads (WebView.loadUrl()) different local HTML files from phone's internal storage. I would like to include some custom css styles for them, Now, I could have my app edit every HTML file and add linking reference for the CSS file.I could also read the file contents, add the CSS linking and use WebView.loadData() to load it.But is it possible to do this a lot simpler and efficiently.Note: The HTML files are downloaded from a website. So editing them manually is not possible in this case, but once downloaded they can be edited via the app if necessary.
